1) Open the fire door and depress the plunger. If the plunger is up Dorgard will not hear
the alarm.
2) Sound the fire alarm for a minimum of 30 seconds.
3) The LED on top of the Dorgard will flash every second to show it is hearing your
fire alarm.
4) Dorgard will release the door in approx. 20 seconds.
5) Should Dorgard not respond to your fire alarm, it may be that your alarm is too quiet.
Dorgard needs to be adjusted to compensate. (Refer to page 8).
6) When Dorgard is ready to release the door, a warning tone will be sounded.
After Dorgard has released the fire door, it will take 10 seconds to reset.
7) Dorgard self tests every 7 days. During the self-test, if the fire door is held open,
Dorgard will release the door. Should Dorgard detect an internal fault it will sound a
warning tone. (Refer to Beep and LED Messages Explained, page 10).
Note:
Alterations to the premises ie: new furniture, new carpets etc, may alter the audibility
of the fire alarm. Following alterations a fire alarm test must be carried out to ensure that
Dorgard responds. If it fails to respond to the alarm refer to Adjusting the Dorgard unit
on page 8. Despite Dorgard self-testing every 7 days, weekly bell tests are highly
recommended. This will ensure that Dorgard is responding to the fire alarm.
